How about a story containing the Oktober Guard, the Iron Grenadiers and the Dreadnoks and Marauders in the third film? Expand on the Joe Universe. And since all of these teams have seen successful toy production in the past few years there is definitely an interest to see them in action. We could have a great story showcasing these teams and the need for G.I. Joe-like teams around the world. Maybe the Marauders secretly help the Oktober Guard keep the Iron Grenadiers from taking over the former Soviet Union? With Destro and Cobra Commanders falling out, it could work.

Hmmm, the Oktober Guard was kind of built upon the Soviet Union, and we all know how well that turned out. Not to say it couldn't work, they cold use the backstory from GI Joe Renegades.

As for the Marauders, I can only assume you mean Slaughter's Marauders, and, even if it is Sgt. Slaughter, he's getting pretty old.

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs, trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help.

Now to be fair Raven, the title of this thread is "What would YOU like to see" not "What do you think will sell to international audiences".

But I think a Dreadnok story line is actually pretty reasonable. In Retaliation both Zartan and Zandar were killed, by Storm Shadow and GI Joe respectively. So Zarana, and possibly Zanya, gather the Dreadnoks and drag Destro out of the rubble cause they need someone with resources. So they take him back to his castle to recover and he activates his Iron Grenadiers. Then everyone sets out for Revenge. Then you can probably have a couple OG come lend a hand. You could get the ones that aren't currently in embroiled in an international conflict(nobody from Russia, Ukraine or Georgia). Granted that only leaves Volga, Daina (Both Czech) and Schrage (Germany). Not exactly the fan favorites, but you could get them past the studio heads.

And hey, Sgt is only 7 years older than Colton. So heck, maybe you bring Bruce back for one scene and he says "Hey, I know a guy." Then Slaughter says "Well, I know some guys."

The other ones could be old enough to reminisce about the days of the Old Soviet Union.

I realize the Soviet Union is no more, but the Oktober Guard could have turned to freelance operatives or just remain a group for any number of reasons. It doesn't have to follow the cold-war era storyline from the Guard's first appearances in the comics. If they followed every detail of the comics or cartoons, then Ripcord would be a pasty white guy with red hair, right? Some things change to create a viable story for a movie. I was thinking of a Russia more along the lines of "A Good Day To Die Hard". I would think a rogue state with multiple military-trained mercenaries running around would be full of story.
